Batteries are safer when stored separately
If you need to remove your battery when your device is not in use for a long period of time, don’t think about storing both together. Even during a power outage, the battery will continue to discharge outward at a faster rate than it would alone be due to the wiring being connected, which could affect the lifespan of both your battery and your device.
The right amount of power will make lithium batteries safer
Unlike other batteries, lithium batteries can neither be fully discharged when stored. Neither can they be fully charged, but need to be kept at 40%-60% charge, which can effectively extend the life of lithium batteries and improve their performance. If you only store them for a short time, you don’t need to charge the batteries, but if you store them for a long time, you need to note down the time when the batteries were last charged, and check them in time in order to replenish the batteries in time.
Conditions for safe storage of batteries
1, light: the battery needs to be stored away from light, the battery is subjected to long periods of direct sunlight, receiving a large amount of heat, which may lead to the battery temperature is too high and explode.
2, temperature: lithium batteries in a cool place, the temperature is best kept at -20~40℃, do not place them in extreme temperatures, to avoid shortening the life of the battery as well as the emergence of security risks.
3, humidity: Although the sealing of lithium batteries is better, but in too humid environment will still have the risk of leakage, as well as rust and corrosion may also occur, affecting the normal use of the battery. So try to put the battery in a dry place, so as not to waste the battery moisture.
4, away from flammable and explosive materials: Although the safety of lithium batteries than other batteries better, but there will still be the risk of explosion and fire, so the battery should be stored in an open area away from flammable and explosive materials, so as not to aggravate the situation when the danger arises.
5, battery box: lithium batteries in the original packaging or specialized battery storage box to provide better protection.
6, ventilation: air circulation can help the battery dissipate heat, to avoid excessive heat buildup.
How to safely store lithium batteries in cold areas?
If you live in a cold area, safe storage of lithium batteries becomes an important issue due to the low regional temperature and the battery’s original problem of discharging too fast and charging slower. You need to choose somewhere as warm as possible to store your lithium batteries, and you can choose to use a battery blanket or a battery heater to provide the right temperature for your batteries. When you keep him indoors, you must be careful not to place him directly next to a heat source, as this may cause danger.
How to store multiple batteries more safely?
When you need to store multi-fast lithium batteries, you should not only consider the storage conditions of lithium batteries, but also pay attention to other things.
1. You need to use a four-sided ventilated bracket to separate the lithium batteries, to avoid a large accumulation of batteries that cannot dissipate heat.
2. the battery will be organized in accordance with the use of the situation, so as to facilitate the subsequent check of its power situation and timely charging.
3. the use of rubber sheaths to protect the terminals of the lithium battery, to avoid short-circuit damage to the battery between the terminals accidentally touched.
4. in the storage room to prepare fire buckets, dry powder fire extinguishers, sand and other fire-fighting appliances, fire can be dealt with in a timely manner.
